Anti-mask attendees at Missouri city council meeting possibly exposed to Covid
Attendees who packed a recent Independence, Missouri, city council meeting, which included debate over face masks, may have been exposed to Covid-19, health officials said.
The city's Health and Animal Services Department said Monday that at least one person at the Aug. 16 meeting tested positive for the coronavirus.
"All individuals in attendance at this meeting who were in the Chamber were likely exposed and should get tested, especially if showing any symptoms of Covid-19," the health department said in a statement.
The meeting drew a large crowd of mostly mask-less people, according to photos and video shared by reporter Nick Starling with NBC affiliate KSHB. During the meeting, many people spoke out against having a mask mandate for the city, citing freedoms and personal choice.
